upcoming golfers find a nurturing home for their talent

The JB Magongo Foundation, a family-driven South African non-profit organisation, is using golf as a tool to build social cohesion, empower young people, and create opportunities for children from disadvantaged communities.

Executive director Nyamekho Magongo said the organisation started the development of children in golf at young ages, and wanted to change the narrative that golf was only a rich mans sport.

The foundation, named after Julius Bonakele Magongo, one of South Africas pioneering black golfers, who rose to prominence in the 1950s, is continuing his legacy by identifying and nurturing young golf talent.
